[Former Brown Sox GM (Bigman)]

We really hate to do it -- and this took a while to consider and shop -- but our needs (both now and future) and the economics involved made this move a borderline necessity...

The Dodgers are bidding farewell to our young star staff ace, Clayton Kershaw (11M for 2013), whom we drafted #2 overall way back in 2007 (in MKIA's 1st annual MiLB Draft), and will send him along w/ setup RP Sean Marshall, young 1B/OF Chris Parmelee and young SP Dillon Gee to the Brown Sox in exchange for ace closer Jon Papelpon, young 2B/3B Matt Carpenter, closer Kevin Gregg and catcher AJ Pierzynski.

Here's the breakdown:

Jon Papelbon (6.5M, 9M, 10M for 2013-15) + Matt Carpenter (protected thru 2015) + Kevin Gregg (400K for 2013) + Pierzynski (400K for 2013)

for

Clayton Kershaw (11M for 2013) + Sean Marshall (1.33M for 2013-14) + Chris Parmelee (protected thru 2015) + Dillon Gee (720K, 1.68M, 1.2M, 1.2M for 2013-16)


Brown Sox GM, Bigman, to confirm. Thanks for the solid negotiations, and all the best w/ your new, young star staff ace, et al...
